Buxa Tiger Reserve, West Bengal

A Bag of Plastic

A bagworm moth larva with a case constructed of soil, lichen and plastic. Plastic never breaks down completely and simply gets mixed with other decaying materials. This caterpillar larva has made it a part of the protective case within which it hides. Every being on the planet is exposed to this man-made hazard and it is clogging up and choking entire ecosystems.
